Turning Walls Into Bridges with Visual Studio Team System 2008 Speaker: Amit Chatterjee
Date: 20.05.2008
Venue: Main Hall
Time: 09:30am - 10:00 am
Traditional approaches have kept developers, testers, architects, project manager and others working in silo’s, leading to significant challenges with delivering projects on time. Today when business is demanding more from these teams, aligning with business becomes very critical to deliver successful projects. Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) has become one of the most important models used that helps turn these walls into bridges. Everyone on the team – project managers, developers, testers – should be able to contribute to the success of the business, but available tools often get in the way. This keynote will paint a vision of turning walls into bridges via ALM and the role Visual Studio Team System 2008 plays in making that vision a reality via examples of how Microsoft is adopting this internally.
